How do I reset my service indicator. Service done by mechanic friend.

 

SOMEBODY ELSE THAT CAN NOT USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION!!!
(The information below is from the manual you possess!)
Be warned, there are very few people who have reset it the first time they have followed the destructions.


DESCRIPTION - FLEXIBLE SERVICE SYSTEM (FSS)
The Flexible Service System (FSS) is a demand-activated engine oil service system. The FSS will illuminate a symbol (2) in the instrument cluster to indicate to the driver when a particular service is due. After a level has dropped below a warning threshold, the remaining distance or the remaining time and the tool symbol (2) are displayed in the panel of the odometer. The FSS is supplied the time intervals from the digital clock in the instrument cluster. The remaining information is supplied by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) via the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.

The data required for FSS from the CAN includes the following:
² The four wheel speed sensors from the CAB.
² Coolant temperature from the PCM.
² Engine speed from the PCM.
² Load torque from the PCM.

MAIN ODOMETER
This shows the total distance the vehicle has traveled. The FSS permits a flexible service schedule that is directly related to the operating conditions of the vehicle. There are two symbols which will appear in the main odometer display field prior to the next suggested service.

This symbol represents Service A. (Picture of one wrench --Bob)

The second symbol represents Service B. (Picture of two wrenches --Bob)

Depending on operating conditions throughout the year, the next service is calculated and displayed next to the this symbol in days remaining before the next service is required. The next service may be calculated and displayed next to this symbol as distance remaining before the next service is
required.

The counter can also be reset by any individual after the indicated service has been performed. To do so:
1. Turn the key to the ON/RUN position.
2. Within one second press the ****/button to the left of the display twice.
3. The present status for days remaining or distance traveled is displayed. Within ten seconds turn the key to OFF.
4. Press and hold the ****/button to the left of the display, while turning the key to ON/RUN again. The present status for days remaining or distance traveled is displayed once more. Continue to hold the ****/button to the left of the display. After approximately ten seconds, a tone sounds and the display shows 6,000 miles (10,000 km) for approximately ten seconds.
5. Release the ****/button to the left of the display.

If the FSS counter was inadvertently reset, the counter must be reset.
The message is displayed for approximately ten seconds when turning the key to the ON/RUN position, or while driving when reaching the service warning threshold. It can be cancelled manually by pressing the ****/button to the left of the display. Once the suggested term has passed, the message, plus either the symbol for Service A or the symbol for Service B preceded by a “–” (minus symbol) blinks for approximately thirty seconds and a tone sounds every time when turning the key to the ON/RUN position. The FSS display can also be called up for approximately ten seconds with the display illuminated by pressing the ****/button to the left of the display twice within one second.
Note: When disconnecting the battery for one or more days at a time, such days will not be counted. Any such days not counted by the FSS can be added. The interval between services is determined by the type of vehicle operation. Driving at extreme speeds, and cold starts combined with short distance driving in which the engine does not reach normal operating temperature, reduce the interval between services

 

Thanks for that now sorted

 

Thanks for the link. I tried it and it worked the first time.

 

Thank You!
The local Chysler dealer couldn't tell me so this helps a great deal!
Thanks again

 

Haha he couldn't tell you, or wouldn't tell ya mate? Haven't known a dealer yet to be so philanthropistic so as to tell me how I could fix any problem in five minutes that they couldn't charge me $100s for lol

Truth be known, the guys on here (or any enthusists site for that matter) know their Crossfire better than the dealer ever will I'm sure.

I hate going to a service depot in a suit just before work to drop the car off and tell the snotty nosed apprentice how/or what exactly he needs to do to fix my car, then have him look me up and down like I've never held a spanner in my life; have him call me a couple hours later to tell me he needs to do xyz; then get the car back later with the same problem. Go figure. lol that was my rant for the day.

 

Guys..be a bit more kind..... PPL come on here to ask questions from folks have have been around these cars a bit longer the some of us. The comment " yet another one that don't know how to use the search function".... just isn't fair. We'll learn to but in our own time...not yours.
I know when I first started on this thread the ONE thing that impressed me was the number of members that really ...willingly ...wanted to help me. That's what kept me coming back. When I have a question or anyone else for that matter....me nice to me.

I don't need a butt chewing. I can get that from the wife !!!

 

gfalcone that response was put on here 3/31/08, 4 months before you even joined, it's an old thread revisited. That doesn't excuse it, just pointing it out. While rereading this post it sounds like a little more of the same from me, I don't mean it that way I just don't know how to word it any better, but your point is still made.

 

How do I put the passenger side window down?

A buddy of mine usually does it, but he's out of the country.

 

HA! Worked first time for me! But it was only cuz I read this from you and decided to re-read the destructions about 50 times before going out to the car to try it. lol Thanks, spensley!
